Running on Empties #39

22 August 2015

As I haven't posted an empties post in what feels like an eternity and I have about five of these posts in draft - I think it's time to get through some of these. Even though I've been buying beauty products like it's going out of fashion, I'm actually starting to get through quite a lot of products which is a first for me.

First things first Sanex Invisible Deodorant - I honestly think these appear in near enough every empties post, however that's the deodorant which I always use and will continue to repurchase. I revieved Hello Mojito Mint Mouthwash* (link here) and as much of a good job which it did, I really got sick of the flavour and I'm glad that it's gone. I'd definitely recommend the brand, however maybe not this flavour.

I think it's a bit of a rarity that I have finally gotten through two make up products as I always think make up is the hardest products to get through, However first up is MAC Select Moisture Cover Concealer in NW20, which is also known as my tanned concealer. Honestly this has been one of the best concealers I have used and I'd say it's a slightly watery version of Collection's Lasting Perfection concealer. It provides excellent coverage and I'm quite sad to see it go. I'd happily repurchase, although I think it's time to see what other concealers are out there. Again from MAC I've also used up one of their Prep and Prime Skin Primers - I honestly don't know what to say about this. Yes it keeps my foundation on my face on nights out, however considering the amount of hype around this and the fact that it's a cult product from MAC I wouldn't be purchasing this again, It does the job, however it's not that flash.

Finally how many cans of dry shampoo can one person go through? I'd have to say that Co Lab Tokyo and Batiste Lace are my two favourite drug store dry shampoos. Batsite makes my hair feel and appear more cleaner than Co Lab, however I normally use Co Lab for volume. Both of these I'd happily repurchase. However I won't be buying any more Batiste for the time being as I've found another four cans in my set of drawers. I feel like I'm some sort of hoarder. Finally Batiste Cherry was one of the most hyped about Batiste scents since it launched and if I'm honest with you I actually hate the scent of this. Nothing at all reminded me of cherries - it cleaned my hair, however based on the fact that the scent was horrible, this will be one Batiste I will be keeping away from. Have you done any empties posts lately? Let me know what you've used up.
